Considering the point we're at in the election cycle, we must be getting close to "Orange Alert" time. I mean, last time round, a week didn't seem to pass without an Orange or at least a Yellow Terror Alert. It happened so often, you'd think it were just another GOTV effort on the part of the Administration.
Judging by past performance then, we ought to be coming into Orange Alert Territory sometime in the next month or so. August 1st -- just after the Democratic Convention -- was the date two years ago.
Of course, nothing has to happen in exactly the same way two times in a row. The "plot" to blow up the Sears Tower and the more recent escapade to blow up the Holland Tunnel may be harbingers of how things will be handled this time round. We'll slowly go through the Monuments of America, each one enjoying its 15 minutes of glory on the Terror Beat, all leading up to a possible crecendo in October.
By that time, hopefully Americans will be sick -- not so much of terrorism but of how this Administration has handled it. We've been down this road before.
